There's been a rumble of rumour in the tech world today as Anonymous announced on their Twitter account,
"ATTN: Tomorrow will be two of the biggest releases for Anonymous in the last 4 years. Everyone brace. This is literally explosive."
Who knows what these releases will be but with the close proximity of the News of the World scandals It's safe money that it may well be something big.
You heard it here first people !
Enjoy

F1 2010 on Xbox 360
Just received my copy of F1 2010 from Amazon for a very reasonable £17. For any F1 fans out there this is an exceptional game, you can tailor the experience to your will much like the driver aid's on Forza 3 (be it Assisted Braking, Racing Line etc).
Starting as a rookie for driver for one of three teams, HRT Cosworth, Virgin or Lotus. You pick a name, get a team-mate and get thrown into the deep end on the track in Bahrain. As a racing game fan, I've played games ranging from the excellent Forza and PGR to the ..... questionable Need for Speed series and the game physics and handling in this game are easily one of the best. You feel the car pick up more grip and the tyres get warmer, touching the gravel makes a noticable change in handling and pushing the car too much will enivatably end up with you facing the wrong way.
Here's some gameplay footage to put what I've written into perspective.
You can take part in all 56 laps of a race, or as little as 12. Completing practice sessions to achieve team goals (culminating in more upgrades for your car) , taking part in qualifying to put down your fastest lap to the thrills and spills of racing. Theres no better feeling than overtaking Sebastian Vettel near the end of a race.
Please buy this game F1 fans !

P.S listening to Fleetwood Mac while playing this really puts the icing on the cake.

Google+ = Facebook Beater ?
Anyone seen the new concept by Google their starting to roll out soon ?
Google+ Promo
From first impressions, it looks clean, easy on the eye and most comfortingly it works A LOT like Facebook. But in my opinion, in a good kind of way.
You organise your friends into different "circles" be it your close friends, your work colleagues, etc. So for me it solves the big problem in you can now target your status' at certain groups of people. I really like you Rick, but I don't want to know what you had for breakfast, that kind of thing.
Threads can be viewed dependant on things like location, with the interesting (if a little geeky) concept of being able to view say a Youtube video (also owned by Google) together with a group of friends/circle. So everybodies reaction can be seen at the same time.
Supposedly on it's way pretty soon, it's still in it's Beta testing stage with limited numbers of "invitations" being given out to those priviliged and quick enough to sign. Apparently demand was "way better than expected" though this may be Google drumming up a bit of publicity.
But I can say I am geniunely interested in their concept, because maybe it's just me but i'm getting a little bored of Facebook with it's "polls, questions, farmville requests" those of us just looking for a social platform to contact friends. However by their definition social sits only work if everyone signs up.
